Superwoman friend.
Or do I do both kinda half way?
Because doing both is just "a lot"
I'm still plugging away walking with Leslie.
Instagram, he is amazing, little balance exercises , everyday.
So I said sure, she wanted to show me a water fall in are area. Well, I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. WOW, she tired me out! climbing up and down rocks, to a beautiful waterfall. I can't believe what good shape she is.
She is going to outlive everyone!
I suspect he is LGBTQ and is use to keeping to himself.
When I was ten, I thought he looked so old. 50 years later, this man looks just the same except more gray.
I see him out walking almost every day, he walks farther than I do , picks up debre off are side walks, while he walks.
He keeps me motivated, and to be honest he doesn't even know who I am. Here on this forum, we sometimes talk about aging and still feeling useful we may be helping people and not even know it. Leading by example.
So let's put are walking shoes on today, and move!
Yeah, that's not gonna happen LOL
A good exercise, for core strength and everything, and balance. sit on a chair and get up with one leg and no hands, age or health related issues, try getting up without using your hands.
Do it like ten times a day.
Funny thing is you dont even realize how many times a day we get up and down and use are hands , when we don't need too.
It can help reduce chances of illness , and physical injury for ourselves . For example saying “ No “ and stop trying to take an elder out when you know it’s too difficult to pull them out of the car anymore .
This is needed so you say “ No” to doing things that would effect your own physical and mental health .
Same with boccie or bowling, big deal you throw a ball., you do it enough you get it.
I've often wondered if she would have lived a little longer had she not fallen that day.
I will say I'm a bit frustrated with nice people. 😆 I get to a corner and have to cross, my mind thinks of good I can stand here for a minute, catch my breath. NOPE no rest for me, they see me coming and stop for me. 😵💫
🏋️♀️Here’s to all caregivers— past, present and future— staying healthy! 🏋️♀️
Maybe not for joints so much, but for the life of me I can’t hold still while sitting. Hard to explain, but holding still is so uncomfortable and I can focus better when I’m fidgeting. ( adhd ) So long as it’s not bothering anyone I just let myself fidget away, and it turns out fidgeting can burn up to 300-500 calories a day. The way I fidget this makes sense.
So fidget away and you’ve earned that next cookie, is my attitude!
You scratch an itch in public?
Hope you cover your mouth when you yawn?
Lol.
But stretching, you stretch whenever you can.
It will help you reach farther to get the healthier cereals off the higher shelves.
Whether it is done in the park, or the grocery store, you can stretch.
Nevermind me, I am so out of touch that I pulled the car over to ask a neighbor heading out if he needed a ride. He declined, saying he was just heading out for a six-mile run. Six miles, 100 + degree heat, at noon?
Lol, lol, lol, lol, lol, it was funny to me.
Trying laughter to save a few calories.
I am going to be making an omelet with avocado this morning, no joke! Soon, I think.
CWillie, That's what I am doing, sticking to my bed so I won't be seen in public doing my pitiful shopping in a motorized cart. It's not that I run into things too much. People may think I am too young to be using the cart.
So Nacy, people look at me funny in public too. It makes it suspect when I can walk intermittently a short distance. But they are not really watching that closely, are they?
I refuse to get a handicapped sticker, and drive around until a closer spot opens up.
In all seriousness, Cwillie, that was some heroic rehab exercise, having to relearn how to run and bike! Good for you!
Over-sharing is a sign of declining mental health. But I am still okay. Aren't I?
Stretching to touch floor while searching for glasses that fell off the bed in the middle of the night .✅
Walking to refrigerator and back to bed with my cold water bottle, 500 ml was heavy.✅
Hopping a bit after hitting my toes on something in the dark. ✅
Lifting my nightgown to see if I have any abs yet, and a cheeto fell out. ✅
Don't compare your exercise routines to mine. I am much less active in the heat of the day. 🛌
(joking)
